The Cass County Commission on Oct. 15 approved a solicitation for professional engineering and architectural services to support roof replacements at the Cass County Justice Center, the original sheriff’s office facility and the juvenile offices facility; approved an amendment to the county’s WIC local agency contract with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to reduce funding by $311.12; and authorized two tax-sale surplus disbursements to Bedrock Capital 2025 LLC after the underlying properties were redeemed.

The roof-related action was carried by a formal resolution directing staff to solicit statements of qualifications from professional engineering and architectural firms for the three county facilities. Commissioners recorded the matter for advertisement so firms may submit proposals for the roofing projects. The resolution passed on a recorded vote of 3 yes, 0 no.

The commission also approved a contract adjustment with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services related to the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) local agency nutrition services contract. County staff told the commission a training allocation in the previous contract period was not used and the contract will be reduced by $311.12. The resolution to accept that amendment passed 3 yes, 0 no.

Separately, the commission authorized disbursement of two tax-sale surplus amounts after property owners redeemed their parcels. The first disbursement was for certificate of purchase number 25-16, tax sale number 329, related to taxpayer Burrell H. Smith; the amount recorded for release was $43,928.98 payable to Bedrock Capital 2025 LLC. The second disbursement was for certificate of purchase number 25-18, tax sale number 348, related to taxpayer Wayne Traylor; the amount recorded for release was $14,763.31 payable to Bedrock Capital 2025 LLC. County staff explained Bedrock Capital was the purchaser at the county tax-sale and the amounts are being returned following redemption. Both disbursements were approved by vote of 3 yes, 0 no.

The commission also placed on the official record a training certificate from the Missouri Association of County Clerks and Election Authorities for Kathy Lambert; that entry was noted by staff and recorded.

Most items were handled with limited discussion and without amendments. No formal actions failed or were tabled during the meeting.
